Five out of five for the PSG: impeccable leader, the club of the capital continued its card full on Saturday afternoon with a fifth victory in as many days, preparing at best its entry into the group stage of C1 scheduled for Wednesday in Bruges .

The Parisian machine is running well, even without the Argentines Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes nor the Brazilian Neymar, left to rest for having played on the night of Thursday to Friday in qualifying for the World-2022.

Messi attended the show from the stands of the Parc des Princes and the flagship rookie of the Paris transfer window should return to the grounds on Wednesday in Belgium, where the magical trio Messi-Neymar-Mbappé could finally be aligned for the first time.

In the meantime, involved in three of the four goals against Clermont, Mbappé has managed a charm operation, turning the page of his summer flirtation with Real Madrid.

First whistled by part of the public at the announcement of the teams at the Parc des Princes, the world champion was forgiven by signing a high-level performance and came out to cheers.

"The only thing I saw was a big ovation for him," said coach Mauricio Pochettino.

"Kylian is a great professional, a great player and a good boy on a human level. (...) He shows great respect for this club, on a daily basis, and you have to know how to appreciate that."

Sacred revelation!

At the Louis-II stadium in Monaco, the Senegalese Bamba Dieng (21) burst the screen with OM, signing a double full of nerve that will mark the spirits.

In an eleven Marseille very overhauled in the absence of playmaker Dimitri Payet (spared) and goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, left on the bench for the benefit of Spaniard Pau Lopez, Dieng seized his chance as a striker.

We only saw him in the first period: two strikes on the post (13th, 28th) as a warning, then a tumble very quickly to beat the Monegasque goalkeeper closely (37th), his very first goal. in L1!

After the break, Dieng did it again, served by rookie Amine Harit, to score as a pivot (60th) and shelter a very attractive OM.

A dream scenario for the kid from the Senegalese academy Diambars, already scorer in February for his debut in the Coupe de France in Auxerre (2-0).

And here is the team of Jorge Sampaoli third in Ligue 1 (10 pts, one game less) behind Paris SG (15 pts) and Angers (10 pts), an ideal situation before returning to the Europa League next Thursday on the lawn of Lokomotiv Moscow.

However, the picture is darker for AS Monaco, overtaken by the twirling Marseille game and returned to its doubts before also starting in C3 next Thursday with the reception of Sturm Graz.
